The new money will go to customer service, expanding merchandise, and enhancing the online shopping experience, according to the announcement. Gemvara founder and CEO Matt Lauzon tweeted today that the company will soon open up 14 new full-time positions and 16 slots for paid interns. The company currently has 40 employees and still works out of Highland’s offices, but is looking for a new home to house its growing staff, Lauzon told me on a phone call today. He said the company plans to invest in its intern program to provide “really meaningful roles for young people” at the company.
